I went into this book thinking it was a mystery novel. It is not. It is a romance novel of the "tumescent", "glistening", and "heaving" kind. I kept reading because it opens with a maybe-murder and I wanted to know who-done-it (and I hate not finishing a book I've started). By the end I didn't care who did the killing, I just wish they would have killed all the characters. I found none of them very interesting and the two main characters bordered on dumb-as-a-box-of-hammers. Not to disparage the author, this was a case of mistaken genre; I''m certain for a romance novel it was just fine.
This was a decent read, but there are other Heather Graham Books that I liked more. The whole missing skull thing kinda got on my nerves after a while. I just wanted someone to find that dang skull!! But other than that, I did find it to be a murder mystery that I had a hard time figuring out whodunit. A good read for a rainy Sunday:-)
You can read more of my reviews at my blog The Book Chick.
If one can get past the fact that the suspense plot is predictable and the characters are morons, it is an okay, light read. Nothing overly exciting but a good, fluffy book who got the job done. I wanted something like it and i'm happy that I did get just that. Even though I can't call it a literary wonder-work.
I do like mystery/suspense romances and the idea of the book was good and believable. There is some strong parts and in the beginning I did really like Beth and disliked Amber. But later on in the book I really started to dislike Beth and like Amber instead. Then I did really hate/love the character Amanda and she surprised me through out the book. I had not expected it but I did predict the ending. And I did miss some more depth between Beth and Keith. There was certainly a lot more to build on in my opinion and the last 10% pages was boring and nothing new.
I like the book as one of those fussy, easy time passers with light plots and characters. Do not often find them great but they get the work done. Which is keeping my mind occupied, be interesting enough to feed me another book in the line of many and keep me company when i need it. Sometimes my brain just need something easy and predictable. Something warm and easy to connect to.

Meh
it was an easy read, had read it several years ago but needed it for a prompt so it was a good choice
I don't really buy the suspense but it has a nip of explosive romance and that's DESCENT.
